A young Shaquille O&#039;Neal played Michael Jordan in his rookie season. Jordan was brilliant with 64 points, but O&#039;Neal demanded al the attention as a rookie.

Josh Cohen of OrlandoMagic.com came out with a Top 70 All-Time Orlando Magic Players list. So we just naturally had to poke and nitpick at the choices. Who got snubbed?

The Orlando Magic will be featured in ESPN 30 for 30&#039;s &#039;This Magic Moment.&#039; It is a tragic tale of youth and unfulfilled promise that hits each moment.

The Atlanta Hawks have had a pedestrian existence in the modern-day NBA. In 2015, they made their first conference finals appearance since 1970. Their rich history in St. Louis, where they made four finals appearances in five seasons (winning one), is often discounted.

The Miami Heat&#039;s Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have certainly left their mark on the NBA. They&#039;ve been to the Finals in every of their first four seasons together, winning two championships.

The idea of using the draft out of team need is based on positions. Do the Lakers have a starting point guard? Do the Lakers have a starting center? When the answer is no, the idea of drafting out of need to fulfill a position can make sense. It gives the rookie an opportunity to expand his game ...2014-06-14 21:37:356/12: Hoops Habit- Orlando Magic: Best Players By Position Of The Modern Erahttp://hoopshabit.com/2014/06/12/orlando-magic-best-players-position-modern-era/

Back in September 2013 I took a look at the value of an NBA lottery pick, but one thing that always bugged me about that analysis was that there was an inherent assumption that all drafts are created equal.
